Pictured here are some of the famous Agave Tobala from "Tio" Rey's agave fields in Sola de Vega- land of the Tobala. Like many other plants, the agave plants will shoot up a stalk, or "quiote," so that it may produce flowers that will bloom for reproduction. The plant will store sugars until it's ready to expend the energy for a quiote. However, because mezcaleros want to keep all of those sugars in the plant for harvest, the quiote will be chopped off before it gets too big or before the plant uses all that energy stored in the form sugars. This also lets the mezcalero know that the agave plant is almost ready for harvest, roasting and distillation. For Agave Tobala, it generally takes 8-15 years for the plant to mature and be ready for harvest. •

Another shot from inside the Bourbon Legends Boxcar at Wrigley Field this past November. Beam Suntory has been pulling out all the stops lately with one impressive bourbon event after another. If you have the opportunity to attend any of their brand events don't miss out.

@goldenroadbrew and @estrellajalisco Tart Mango Cart Michelada in a can.
Value: 25oz for $4 at a liquor store gives it a great score, especially when considering that a michi at Goldenroad comes out to $10 for a pint. 7.5/10.
Taste: so this is everything I want in a can mixed together so there's going to be a bias.. Tastes like a mango pop and delicious alternative to mamosas for brunch. 7/10.
Total Nhan Score: 14.5/20.
Shout out to @thexsharon for hand modeling.

Have you ever thought about what’s in your water? 💦 🤔 •
These days, you have to be cautious with what you put into your body more than ever. Tap water is practically industrial waste ☠️ The best water, in my opinion, is “living”, untouched spring water. Despite what MANY people say, distilled water is “dead” and processed, with no mineral content. •

Do you use a water filter? 🚿 •
